"The wait time estimates shown below are as reported by the airports..., and they may not be accurate." And I'm worried about the ones that haven't reported TSA wait times -- in L.A., Las Vegas, Chicago, NYC, etc. P.S. Atlanta says 4 hours?! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

"Pres. Trump’s handpicked arts commission voted to approve a commemorative, 24-karat gold coin bearing Mr. Trump’s image, brushing aside debate over whether the coin violates American tradition." Does "conservative" mean violating tradition? nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Barron Trump compra acciones petroleras por valor de 50 millones de dólares dos días antes de que Trump iniciara la guerra en Irán. -Lo compró antes de que cayeran las bombas. - Compró antes de que Irán cerrara el Estrecho de Ormuz. - Compró antes de que se agotara el 20% del suministro mundial de petróleo. - Compró antes de que los precios del crudo alcanzaran niveles no vistos desde 2008. Esto constituye tráfico de información privilegiada y es totalmente ilegal. Por igual delito de 15 mil dólares, Martha Stewart estuvo en prisión.

What a deserving recognition. A strong, intelligent and articulate voice for the world, not just for the developing nations. This ought to be the future UN Secretary General. A woman who can help uplift the organization and multilateralism in general!
